      Why. He twisting things for his own reconditioning. When he says half the population was killed in Carn. That's not the number taken from the full population number lol but he says it like it is. Most had run expecially the rich. This is modern propaganda

      His review of history is childish. He thinks he is very clever, attacking the Brits and how they fought wars is silly. He should reflect on history including modern times and NATO and so forth. War is cruel and a bloody business and always ends up killing the innocent bystanders. At no time in all human history has this changed!

      No he pollutes history with his biased modern apologist take. His speculation on the route deliberations creates false tension that did not exist. Too many ego shots and ugly tattoos. If you learn your history from this you are receiving a false narrative, look elsewhere for your knowledge.

    I’ve visited France about 30 times over the past 47 years and seen all of Normandy and paid my respects at the cemeteries and monuments of the 1st and 2nd world wars, especially at the Welsh Dragon at the Somme battlefield (because I’m Welsh obviously..). I love Calvados for obvious reasons and paired with crepes it’s utter perfection ! The food is especially delicious here. We’ve visited Brittany many times, Paris (I stood by the Eiffel Tower but didn’t go up - it’s better seen from a distance as someone who’s deathly afraid of heights plus you get the full perspective), Rouen, Bordeaux, Champagne, Cognac, travelled through the Alps, been to Perpignan, Nice, Provence, La Rochelle (my personal favourite), Royan and La Palmyre near Les Mathes. I’ve got cousins who have a house in St Jean D’Angeley near Saintes and we visited regularly as children and as adults staying about 20 minutes away. I love Cognac and visiting the cellars and producers such as Rémy Martin and Courvoisier. We love Royan, the Charante Maritime, Vendee and the Loire and Rhone Valley as well as the Dordogne. It’s a beautiful country with incredible scenery, food and wine and the people are friendly and welcoming especially when you at least try speaking the language ! That’s where most people come unstuck, they don’t even try and often get a poor response from the French people.. If you at least try, they love it and love trying their English out on you ! I’d recommend everyone to go and see all of these beautiful places and try the wonderful food especially regional specialties that that particular region is known and celebrated for, as well as the fabulous wine, champagne, cognac and Calvados - go and enjoy it !!

      There is a part II I think. Nonetheless, the constant talk about how violent wars are is just silly now. Historians should be grown ups who understand that humans do wars because we can and we will and this is perfectly normal. No wars leads to social collapse which is very peculiar. Humans do poorly during peacetime. Namely, they fight each other at home! Best to take this to someone else!

If this is a video about the Crecy (a famous English victory) campaign then its pretty reasonable for them to cover the cheveches leading up to it. I'm sure in their 1066 videos they cover Norman/French atrocities. The past is a different country, where broadly everyone was pretty unpleasant compared to now.

We fought all the time, fought in France, fought in England and then fought in the New World. We made history and history always was and is a bloody business. Being all wimpy about this business is irritating. Good grief. Wars are human events. Humans have been at wars since we first used rocks attached to sticks for crying out loud.

All the successful soldiers got land and peasants and horses so they merrily lived it up for several hundred years! Whoopee! This didn't require a huge invading force, just men in armor and boats and horses taking over the top parts of the systems and then being 'police' to keep things running afterwards!
      We left England when the Civil War broke out and we were on the losing side and fled to the New World. And resumed fighting over there! here in America.

    The part about an opposed landing is purely for drama. There was no reason for it to ever happen in medieval warfare. The attacker would simply land where the enemy wasn't. And certainly never against prepared positions.
    This is why raiders were so effective; pop up with fast ships, strike an easy target and get away before any land forces could catch them.

    24:10 In my opinion Dr. Elodie Giard does some unfounded generalisations about the mindset of people in the medieval age. All right, her focus is the hundred year war in which such atrocities like the _scorched-earth policy: the chevauchée_ were executed without a doubt. But you simply can't extrapolate this kind of warfare to the whole medieval age.

    Why the hell would you burn down the place you're trying to take over?
    Speaking of William of Normandy, I saw a study that a LOT of people in the UK are descended from the Plantagenets, like a shocking number. It makes sense, tiny island, not many people, they'd have to be related. Like in Iceland, they have a dating app to ensure that you're not TOO closely related to your potential partner.

      If your last name is Pierce; I believe you come from the de Percy family, and they have a fabulous English history. A wealthy, leading family in the middle ages.. Henry "Hotspur" Percy is one to look up. He is probably a great grandfather of yours.. and yes, you'd be from William the Conqueror as well.

      Unfortunately, despite making great headlines at the time (Yay! We're all descended from kings of England), claims that most of us are descended from Edward III are total nonsense, based on mathematically modelled computer projections using iffy statistical values, many of which are demonstrably incorrect, rather than good old fashioned painstaking research. There are plenty of known historical and genealogical facts that appear to dispel this claim, such as the extinction of the paternal Norman lineages, the mtDNA survey to discover living descendants of Cheddar Gorge Man, the genealogical search for living ancestors of Cecilly Neville, and the Marquis of Ruvigny's research into the number of possible living descendants of Edward's in 1907, which identified a possible 80,000-100,000 descendants - which can be extrapolated to a maximum of around 2m indivduals today, which is a far cry from the claims made by Millard, Rutherford, and a few others, that we are all descended from Edward.

    This title is misleading. The Battle of Crécy is not featured here at all. Everything in the video preceded the battle. I suggest the title should be modified to, 'King Edward Invades Northern France' or 'The Campaign towards Crécy' or something of the like. I like the video. The title does not entirely match with the content is all.
